Chapter 260 Hearing the Dengwen Drum Again

"Human nature?" The regent sneered, and said, "It seems that they are deliberately instigating the royal family!"

He waved his hand, expressing that he didn't want to talk about it anymore, "I don't dare to worry about your majesty's family affairs."

He glanced coldly at Cui Wan again, pointing out something, "Shangshu Cui has a lot of free time recently? If so, you might as well cultivate your body and mind to be serious. If the sky meddles in your business, it may not be good for your body!"

Cui Wan coughed dryly and bowed her hands to him as an apology.

Seeing this, all the ministers quietly watched the movement on Danchi, and saw that Chunjia didn't intend to ask the truth, so they all kept silent... The matter passed like this.

But within two days, the Dou family made noise again. They went directly to beat the Dengwen drum and sued the regent for being harsh on the eldest son. Yan Gong Xiangxiao was seriously injured by the regent in front of Princess Dongxing and then discarded. It has been three days and three nights so far in the chaifang, and the imperial physician has not been invited, for fear that some people will die soon.

Dou's family knelt in front of the imperial court, crying with snot and tears, and looked extremely sad: "Sister She left early, and there is only such a little flesh and blood left behind. If something goes wrong, how will the family go down to see Sister She in the future? How will you explain it?" ?”

"Of course the son is not good. After all, he is the blood of the late Emperor Shenzong and the biological son of the regent. Even if he is rejected, we have already petitioned on behalf of my nephew to abolish his position as the son, and we will go to the tomb of my younger sister to watch the spirit!"

"Could it be that the Prince Regent insists on exterminating them all, and doesn't care about any kindness!"

Chunjia was very embarrassed, saying that the regent is his uncle, an elder who is treated as half a father, and the eldest son is a brother, no different from a real brother, with the palms and backs of his hands full of flesh, whether it is to blame the regent for telling him to be good in the future Regarding the son, he still agreed to the request of the Dou family, and let the son go to guard the tomb of Princess Dou, which is not easy to say as an emperor.

But the Dou family even beat the Dengwen drum, so they had to give an explanation.

So he summoned a group of clan relatives to come and discuss how to deal with this matter together.

Clansmen, you look at me and I look at yours. They all have one idea in their hearts, that is, let the emperor and the regent tell them what they want to do, and they will second it.

if not?

In view of the lessons learned from the former vassal king's chaos, the Guochao has strict control over the clan. Otherwise, after Xiaozong has no children, it will not be the Ji family's turn to make him an heir... How could it be possible for someone with a foreign surname to make a decision when the family is not from the same clan who came out to speak!

So the clan members have no intention of helping out at the moment, just wondering what the emperor's move is, and should they support or oppose it?

Chunjia asked for a long time and saw that they were repeatedly shirking, but she had no choice but to ask someone to invite the regent to discuss it.

The regent didn't want to come, and the emperor sent three groups of people in a row, but he said he couldn't afford it, so that the front court and the harem were spreading rumors that the regent was arrogant again.

But the regent didn't care about such talk at all.

However, after Yun Fenghuang heard about it, he immediately sent Chen Jing to the imperial court to remind him: "Since the regent is ill and cannot come to see His Majesty, why doesn't Your Majesty invite some of the clansmen to visit him? Of course, the clansmen staying in the imperial capital are mostly elders." For example, Her Royal Highness Princess Dongxing is not good at labor. How about asking Her Royal Highness Princess to go instead."

Then Princess Yun'an accepted the mission and went to the Prince Regent's Palace with the guard of honor of the princess.

The regent can be honest with Princess Dongxing, but he can't be arrogant to the flesh and blood of his first brother Xiaozong who everyone knows to be good to him. He took off his clothes and said angrily: "Chunjia, my son, I will persecute you and other sisters, and threaten Yugu!"

"Uncle, don't say that, Yun An himself also wants to visit Uncle." Princess Yun An said politely, "I don't know how Uncle is doing now?"

Princess Yun'an felt a little disapproving of this uncle in her heart, not because she was standing in Chunjia's position now, but because Princess Minghui, the first daughter, was in front, and she and Princess Sui'an were two concubines, The attention he received would have been inferior, but when he was young, the prince regent was favored because he was the only male heir of his generation... even more favored than the two eldest princesses. It was rumored that Xiaozong intended to succeed the regent, and she and the attendants in front of Sui'an often told them in private to find ways to please the regent father and son, lest these two become disinterested in the princess after they came to power.

Think about it, my own father is the emperor, but because I don't have any brothers, I still have to look at the faces of my uncle and cousin...

Unlike Ming Hui, Yun'an Sui'an has a strong foreign family to rely on, and what is not in his heart is naturally mixed.

Coupled with the fact that the Prince Regent has been busy fighting for power over the years, he didn't pay much attention to them.

To be honest, when it comes to caring and getting along, Chunjia is better than the regent.

After all, he has been a puppet for eight years, and there is plenty of time in these eight years...

Princess Yun'an naturally wouldn't agree with the regent's words at this moment, Quan pretended not to know that he was pretending to be ill, and made a gesture of concern, and greeted him earnestly, before mentioning that Chunjia was waiting for him in the palace things.

The regent frowned and told her to leave it alone.

Princess Yun'an was silent for a while, but she didn't force her, but retired calmly.

She was quite calm at the moment, but when she got out of the yard, her complexion was a little ugly, and when she got into the car at the door, she burst into tears.

Of course, the people at the gate of the Prince Regent’s Mansion couldn’t sit idly by, and hurried in to report to the Prince Regent who had already gone to the study to deal with the affairs of the court. Did Chunjia force you?"

"I just miss my father." Princess Yun'an sobbed through the curtain, and said, "Brother Huang often said that uncle is also father, seeing uncle today, can you not remember father?"

This is like directly saying that the uncle of the Prince Regent is not as kind to her as Xiaozong's father. Finally, hearing the Eldest Princess calm down and leave again, she directly punched the pillar next to her, went back to the study and slapped the table and scolded Chunjia for a long time before she angrily washed and changed her clothes and went to the palace.

When he entered the palace and saw Chunjia, he immediately asked Chunjia how he became Xiaozong's heir? !

It's already wicked to use the eldest princess's marriage to cultivate a confidant, why should Yun An be involved in the conflict between uncle and nephew! ?

"What my uncle said is that I am the heir of the late emperor, and the three eldest princesses are like brothers and sisters." Of course Chunjia did not admit that he was not good to the eldest princesses. , isn’t he closer to me? Besides, if uncle really loves the imperial sister, why would he let the imperial sister burst into tears? If the late emperor is still alive, how can the eldest princess be willing to be so wronged?”

The regent wants to say that you, a yellow-mouthed child, have never seen the late emperor, how do you know that the late emperor is reluctant?

In fact, he has not taken special care of the three eldest princesses in these years. One is that the concubine Ji Sheng loves his own Minghui like a treasure, and treats the two concubine daughters as if they were his own, but he is not harsh, so he doesn't need to worry about it; The second is that Xiaozong didn't pay special attention to these three daughters during his lifetime.

Because Xiaozong was busy intrigue with the Ji family at that time, if he was the prince, he would definitely cultivate it carefully, and the three children were all princesses who could not inherit the throne, so he didn't care about that.

The regent was influenced by the emperor's brother, so he didn't think much of these three nieces.

At this moment, after arguing with Chun Jia about who was colder to the first emperor's flesh and blood, he didn't want to go any further, and straightforwardly stated that he did not agree to abandon Gong Xiangxiao's status as the eldest son.

Now that he is not at the court meeting, Chunjia is not polite to him: "Looking at Uncle Wang's behavior in the past two years, he has become estranged from his son. Now is a great time to abandon his son. Why did Uncle Wang give up? Could it be the last point?" Don't you miss the flesh and blood?"

The regent's face was livid, and he only said: "Your Majesty must follow the Dou family?"

"It's not that I deliberately made things difficult for Uncle Wang." Chunjia shook his head and said, "But to be honest, the son and uncle have separated. Even this time, the son beat the concubine in front of the uncle... this is why Even if Uncle Wang changes his mind now and wants to protect the crown prince, how can he stop the people talking about it? Moreover, Uncle Wang thinks that the crown prince and the concubine can live together under the same roof in the future?"

"..." The regent was speechless, and only reluctantly said, "I was busy with government affairs earlier, and neglected to teach my son, so I will naturally teach him well in the future."

Chunjia calmly said: "Uncle Wang, the son is about to be crowned, and his temperament has already been established. Uncle Wang is not just doing nothing now, how much time can he spend teaching him? Moreover, Uncle Wang thinks that the son will continue to teach him in the future. Can you listen to your persuasion? The grievances between the prince and the concubine are not a day's cold, how can it be a few days' work if you want to turn hostility into friendship?"

The regent was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked: "You really didn't do what happened to Xiao Daiyu?"

"No." Chunjia said bluntly, "At first I thought it was the meaning of the emperor's grandmother and uncle Wang."

After a pause, he said, "I heard that a few years ago, the eldest son asked for orders to be released, or to follow the example of Uncle Wang to go to the Dingbei Army for training, but Uncle Wang refused. In fact, if Uncle Wang agreed to him at that time, the relationship between father and son would be very serious." It’s not possible to get to this day.”

The regent didn't answer this question, and after a moment of silence, Fang said slowly: "Then follow your majesty's wishes."

Chunjia nodded, but there was no sign of victory or joy in his expression, and he said in a low voice: "After all, the eldest son is the eldest son of Uncle Wang, for the sake of royal dignity, please don't ask Uncle Wang to stand up immediately after he abandons him." Little brother, when the time comes, it will be a joke for outsiders to see."

Although everyone now thinks that Gong Xiangxiao was pushed to where he is now by the Prince Regent, or simply because he was instigated by the Prince Regent's concubine to dislike him, but this kind of thing has dragged on for a year and a half? It's over.

When the time comes to establish Gong Xiangzhen again, even if there will still be discussions, it is better than being on the cusp of the storm now.

The regent agreed to the request without much thought.

After he returned to the mansion, he ordered someone to drag Gong Xiangxiao to him. At this time, Gong Xiangxiao was in a state of distress, but his eyes were still shining brightly, and he did not kneel when he came, and stared at him viciously.

Father and son looked at each other, or confronted each other for a moment, and the regent said in a flat tone: "Your Majesty has agreed to the request of the Dou family, and will soon abolish your position as the eldest son. At that time, you will do as they said, and give your mother Let the concubine guard the tomb!"

Gong Xiangxiao sneered and said, "Are you willing to let me go to the tomb of my concubine alive?"

The regent looked at him expressionlessly: "Fool, get out!"

Watching Gong Xiangxiao being framed out, the regent's expression changed for a long time, Fang Xuxiu breathed out, and asked the servant standing beside him: "Send someone to watch him, if he wants to leave Dou's tomb..."

After hesitating for a while, a look of determination appeared in his eyes, "Just do as I said before!"

...At about the same time, in the palace of Taichu, Chunjia was telling Deng Chengzhai: "...Let our people look at the prince, oh, he will not be the prince soon. In short, let people pay attention!"

Deng Chengzhai frowned and asked, "Your Majesty suspects that the Prince Regent and his son are singing double reeds?"

"That's not true." Chunjia narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Perhaps the regent was also put together this time, but, do you think the prince has the courage and ability?"

Deng Chengzhai was startled, and then heard the emperor say in a low voice, "There is probably someone behind him... There is no reason why that person urged the crown prince to do this. Let people pay attention to see what he wants to do?"
